Everybody was happy yesterday in Brasilia, as the country celebrated it Independence Day with a grand parade. Since it fell on a Friday, that meant a three day weekend, and in Brasilia, a three day week means, lets go to Rio!!  At lest for people with cushy government jobs and that mean more work for waiters in Rio, especially on Copacabana beach.
